Development of bat-boxes for Mediterranean areas Sample Clauses

Development of bat-boxes for Mediterranean areas. The purpose of this study was to develop a bat-box with the suitable characteristics to be successful occupied by bats in the Mediterranean region. These bat-boxes has to have a wide range of internal temperatures, optimal internal temperatures for bats and keep long periods of time within this conditions. The thermal characteristics and some architectonic variables of a bat-box model were studied, namely the bat- box colour (white, grey, black and “wood” colour), roof colour (white and black), roof size, ventilation openings size, existence of a lateral ventilation and existence of a “double-roof”. The results showed that bat-boxes painted with dark colours, such as black or grey, achieved higher temperatures and the widest range of internal temperature. The dark bat-boxes have the disadvantage of reaching high temperatures that might be excessive for bats. On the other hand, bat-boxes with a “double-roof” or with a white roof in a grey box achieved the lowest temperatures, maintaining a wide range of internal temperatures. Our data supports the idea that a medium-grey bat-box is suitable for most of the Mediterranean area. In hotter regions the bat-boxes which seem to be the more appropriate are the ones with a bigger roof or with a white roof in a grey box. In this way we can avoid excessive temperatures inside. In the colder regions grey bat-boxes with black roof or completely black bat-boxes seemed to be more appropriate. These ones can absorb more sun radiation, increasing the heat inside. Bat-boxes thermal conditions are still under study. Now we are testing new architectonic variables and the influence of geographic orientation. Funded by “Instituto da Conservação da Natureza”.
